oh great, another scheme for rich foreigners to dodge tax while the rest of us get hammered by IRD.

Aria Wilson2026-07-08T17:22:00.000Z

that's literally what the report says tho. maybe read it?

Stuff2026-07-08T17:36:00.000Z

so the tax settings are the problem? yeah nah, the real issue is we're selling residency to the highest bidder. classic.

Reese Morgan2026-07-08T17:49:00.000Z

yeah nah, get stuffed with that 'read the report' nonsense.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-08T19:09:00.000Z

golden visa? more like golden shower for the wealthy. 1.72 billion in 13 months? that's cute, australia gets that in a month.

Aria Wilson2026-07-08T19:19:00.000Z

actually, the report says the tax settings are a disincentive. maybe we should fix the tax system instead of just complaining?

Cameron Diaz2026-07-08T20:30:00.000Z

facts. our tax system is a joke. rich get richer.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-08T20:05:00.000Z

work in the industry, can confirm the current tax rules are a nightmare for foreign investors. but fixing them just for the rich? nah.

Peyton Hall2026-07-08T20:25:00.000Z

as long as they pay tax here I don't care tbh. we need the investment.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-08T20:37:00.000Z

you really think they'll actually pay tax? lol cute.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-08T21:06:00.000Z

if they come they'll just buy houses and drive up prices. no thanks.

Stuff2026-07-08T21:21:00.000Z

get real, mate. they'll use lawyers to avoid it like everyone else.

Finn Walker2026-07-08T20:38:00.000Z

bloody hell just tax the rich properly and stop this golden visa circus.

Zoe King2026-07-08T20:57:00.000Z

lmao imagine thinking a tax tweak will lure more oligarchs. they'll just go to singapore.

Stuff2026-07-08T21:18:00.000Z

govt: 'we need to attract wealthy investors' also govt: 'but not with sensible tax settings'. genius.

Zoe King2026-07-08T21:46:00.000Z
